Women10 Living Fit Inside-Out
Play, explore, adventure, connect, inspire, empower!

Our Mission:
To explore and to recognize the sacred in the ordinary. To navigate the world we live in with grace. To know, embody and embrace our humanness together. To practice mind-body-spirit wellness, as if our life depended on it, and it does. To honour our strengths, our powers, our challenging and unique experiences, and our capacity for loving kindness. To create a safe and engaging space for women to connect with compassion and passion. To live our truth-that our thoughts, words, and resulting actions impact our relationships, to self, and others. |
ABOUT ME & OUR HISTORY
I am mother of three wonderful adult children, grandmother to 9 amazing grandchildren and supported by my partner, Lee Madigan, in all my adventures. I am also a social entrepreneur, and a seed planter. I plant the seeds of possibility, loving kindness, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.
I have a broad range of experiences as a social entrepreneur. Women10 Living Fit Inside-Out is an association of mature women. We are dedicated to creating and facilitating a program for women to socially connect and to create a better quality of life, individually and collectively. Earth in a Nest is a social enterprise that I created to help businesses, their clients and employees, envision how their individual behaviors can contribute to the global good and how they can be a force for positive change that is profitable and in the best interests of humanity and the earth.
North Bay Heritage Gardeners program, which I co-founded in 1997, is a volunteer organization (averaging 250 volunteers/year for 24 years) to maintain 53 botanical garden beds at our waterfront. I also founded Nipissing Botanical Gardens, and led a project to create a tree nursery in the heart of our city. These volunteer projects are dear to me, and I am still participating in both. I’ve had direct involvement with many other community projects such as the creation of Community Waterfront Park, a community collaboration to build a park, between our downtown and waterfront, on remediated rail lands. I served as First female Honorary Colonel, 21 Squadron, 22 wing, CFB, North Bay, a privilege and honour to be chosen for this role.
Clean Green Beautiful North Bay is another volunteer organization which I founded and chair with the help of other community leaders who sit on our steering committee. This project’s exists to bring the beauty of our waterfront throughout our community, and a stewardship culture to our city.
All of these initiatives exist today because of collaboration with and support of the community.
“We all have an unlimited capacity for caring, compassion, and positive social connection. I believe that, when we manifest these values in the presence of each other and tell our stories, it not only makes us better human beings, it makes the world a better place. That is our common ground.”
